Revelations often go unnoticed in this world gone blind and deaf — dumbed
down and utterly mad — as our society is seduced and reduced to animals by The
Disciples of Greed: The World Banking System, Corporate Businesses,
Governments, Insurance Companies, Organized Religion, Retirement Investment
Companies, etc. Now, if we are truly being reduced to no more than animals, what
type of animals might these exampled organizations consider us as being, as they
craftily and covertly invert everything in our society — resulting in an eventual total
inversion of society, itself, creating a topsy turvy societal world turned wrong side
out and stood on its head in a fermenting manure pile — with good being
transformed into evil, and evil handily transformed into good, before our very eyes
and, yet, we do not see what is taking place due to our self centered delusional
In the 2012 election cycle, the insurance industry contributed a record $58.7 million to federal parties and candidates as well as outside spending groups.
Of the nearly $55 million that went to parties and candidates, 68 percent went to Republicans, who have long been the recipients of most of this category's
giving.
Passage of the Affordable Care Act, which became law in 2010, brought significant change to the health insurance industry. While the legislation was
pending, major health insurers said they supported the law while actually working against it. But they have been heavily involved in trying to shape
resulting regulations, and -- after the new law's difficult initial rollout -- many insurers have indicated they want to participate in the state-by-state
marketplaces.
The industry spent more than $154 million on federal lobbying efforts in 2013. Flood insurance, terrorism risk insurance and data security were among
the issues that concerned the non-health insurer members of this grouping.” http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/background.php?cycle=2016&ind=f09
15 Top Insurance Lobbyists On Capitol Hill — “The Hill, a popular Capitol Hill insider publication with political news and opinions, has placed five
insurance groups and their lobbyists on its 2015 list of the top lobbyists in Washington for associations.
The insurance trade groups making The Hill’s list are America’s Health Insurance Plans, the American Council of Life Insurers, the American Insurance
Association, the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, and the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America.
“Those named to this year’s list have climbed to the top of their profession, demonstrating an ability to influence Washington’s power brokers on behalf of
the interest groups, corporations and industries they represent,” The Hill says in its introduction.
The listing not a power ranking; lobbyists are listed alphabetically.
The insurance groups are among others representing a variety of industries including technology, energy, banking, manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.
Among lobbyists for the property/casualty insurance industry, the Capitol Hill publication cites Leigh Ann Pusey of the AIA for 20 years of advocacy; Bob
Rusbuldt and Charles Symington, IIABA, for the extension of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act in particular; and Nathaniel Wienecke, PCI, also for TRIA
and work on cyber security legislation.
The Hill says it will also be publishing a list of top lobbyists for corporations.” http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2015/10/28/386457.htm
16 Sheeple-People — A word and term I find myself favoring in my attempt to communicate the all too factual reality that people tend to allow themselves
— even seem to want — to be led, watered, and fed, much like sheep, trusting others with decisions and truths regarding their lives, their futures, their
welfare, and their safety, rather then shouldering up such responsibilities themselves as individuals, in finding and enjoying the comfort of numbers. The
word sheeple was first coined by actress and Wall Street Journal writer, Barbara Anderson, in 1984.
